Baby Cats Welcome Back Celebration
(11th June 21)

We hosted a little Baby Cats party!  We knew that this year has been hard for them and we were happy to welcome families back on-site to enjoy lots of fun activities. 

We have a lovely Cottage Garden which is totally separate from the Prep School and therefore was a Covid secure area.
